New anti-bullfighting municipality in Venezuela

The mayor of the Venezuelan municipality of San Felipe has, by a degree, banned bullfighting. This brings the total number of municipalities against bullfighting in Venezuela to 6. Worldwide there are now 125 anti-bullfighting municipalities.

The mayor says that it is his duty to take measures to "contribute to the protection and preservation of the welfare of all living beings "with the aim to promote a society free of violence. He states that bullfighting is an act of aggression and cruelty towards the bull, that damages the right to a free world without violence.
